This is an Australian car, called the 'Patterson-Brydon MG TC Special'. The VHRR website says this about the car;

"The Patterson-Brydon MG TC Special was built during the latter part of 1948, by Bill Patterson, Reg Nutt and Doug Whiteford. The racing body was designed as a two seater and was built by Bob Baker. It was painted green and was panelled in light gauge aluminium over a welded frame of light angle iron. The panels were attached by quick release Dzus fasteners. The highly developed engine of the special was fully balanced, fitted with larger valves and a Marshall supercharger. The ignition was provided by a Scintilla Vertex NV4 magneto and the fuel was fed to the carburettor by air pressure in the tank, by using a hand pump in the cockpit. The special pressurised cooling system used a modified Ford V8 radiator core."

I saw it in the Rookie section last week, and I was ready and waiting to pounce.
